Chapter 158 The Shadow of Truth

The form of warfare is based on existing technology, And in the world where there is a bug called Magic Singer, almost all battles are tactical offensive and defensive systems based on how to maximize the power of the mage.

Aside from the knight-like duel of wizards, beheading the enemy’s mage and protecting the mage of one’s own are the key points of any encounter.

“Generally speaking, imperial warships like this ‘Lord-class’ are usually equipped with five to six mages, except for the storm mages who are responsible for speeding up the ships, the rest are war mages. And it’s usually a War Mage who specializes in direct destruction effects such as fire, lightning, and frost.”

Captain Hobbs, who watched the distant empire battleship approaching, said so.

Including the Blackwater Province merchant who has identified himself as a magic caster, there are now only three wizards aboard the Whalebone—a far cry in both numbers and naval training. inferior to the opponent.

“We are definitely at an absolute disadvantage in the spell battle. If we want to fight for a chance in this situation, we can only pin our hopes on the jumping gang battle and let it go. “

No matter how strong a magic caster is, he is still a mortal. Before reaching the Legendary Domain, it is extremely fatal for a mage to be approached by several armed ordinary persons.

“The question is how do we get to that imperial battleship.”

Thunder Fire said.

The war mage nicknamed “Thunder Fire” is a greasy-haired young man. When he introduced himself, he claimed to be an apprentice-level mage of the Sage Seat, but later added that he was in the lightning department spell. to the quasi-expert level.

That is to say, the degree of [Transmission] will be used.

“The other side won’t be so stupid, they will get the boat stuck in the distance that we can hit us, but we can’t hit them, first consume us bits and pieces, and then judge what to do next. Do.”

That’s what the expert warrior wizard nicknamed “The Big Steel Cannon” said.

If this is the case, they can only passively defend and intercept each other’s spells until their magic power is exhausted, and then they fall into a situation where others are slaughtered.

William did not join their combat discussions. Instead, he stood aside and watched the approaching warship, thinking about what type of spell he should use in order to disguise it as an accident.

I used 【Shadow of Reality】to visualize a giant dragon passing by and burnt the ship? Or release multiple [tornadoes] to create a small storm to engulf that warship? Or is it directly teleported to the opponent’s ship, and then summon some high-level summons for gang jumping?

“Mr. Ishma?”

Someone patted William’s shoulder and made him sobered up.

“What’s the matter?”

William turned to see Captain Hobbes calling him.

“When the time comes, you will help us jump onto the other party’s boat, is there any problem?”

The other party asked.

“I’ll help?”

William asked curiously, pointing to himself.

After listening to the captain’s explanation, William understood the other party’s plan.

Hobbes believed that since this imperial warship was likely to be plundered, the other party would definitely not have sunk the Whalebone directly and at a distance. And what they have to do is to show weakness first, wait until the other party feels that there is no resistance here, and then directly use [Teleport] to fight the gang.

“But teleportation magic is to set coordinates, you should know that?”

William asked after listening to his plan.

Thunder Fire hearing this next to him took out several demon seal runes from his pocket and said:

“I’ve always prepared for this.”

” Then how are you going to get these things on the other side’s boat? Throw them over?”

William frowned slightly, looking at the runes and continuing to ask.

“This is where your help is needed.”

The other replied, and then he continued:

“Fire and Storm, you are the Voyager constellation. Magic caster, right? You were also helping with the unfathomable mystery gale that the ship encountered during its expedition?”

After learning the identity of this Human Demon magic caster , they can easily guess that the gust of wind that appeared without warning earlier was from this person. Combined with the flame spell that the other party had previously revealed, they were almost certain that the other party was a traveler’s magic caster, and the level was not low, at least at the level of an expert.

The Voyager constellation corresponds to the three spells of storm, fire and earth.

In this regard, William replied with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face:

“In other words, you want me to use the storm spell to send these coordinates to the other party’s ship? ”

The attack spells of the storm system, although players often complain about the damage “guasha”, but they are the spells with the farthest single attack distance and the widest AOE coverage among the thirteen series spells. According to the setting, this is because the essence of the storm spell is to control the soul, so its release range is approximately equal to the releaser’s perception range.

The other party is nodded.

William sighed slightly, and didn’t say much, just took those few extremely crudely made demon seal runes from the other party.

But William has absolutely no plans to execute on their plan.

Let’s not talk about whether the ship can still be driven after letting the other party pour out the spell first. Using these inferior demon seal runes as coordinates, it may explode directly when teleporting, and people will be directly broken into several pieces by the broken space.

After all, the entire Whalebone suffered from this incident only after accepting her own commission, so it would be better for me to be more responsible.

Thinking of this, William gestured to Liz beside him while their attention was far away. She nodded and flew to the same height as William, and the scales and powder like golden powder kept rising behind her, and then she crossed several golden tracks like a dance.

A hazy and ambiguous mist filled William’s side.

At the same time, near the scar of poisonous snake thousands of kilometers away, William’s body sitting on a huge throne was also surrounded by a dreamy mist.

Countless indistinct connections connect the body and the iron card on the chest of the mirror, and then the majestic magic power emerges in this illusory body.

Using the iron card on his chest as a medium for casting spells, an extremely complex spell began to weave in it.

The iron card that exceeded the upper limit of the material’s magic power suddenly appeared several dangerous cracks, and the invisible magic power spurted out from it, refracting the light in the sky, and slowly constructed a huge and Delusional silhouette.

And at this moment, everyone is clasping the weapons in their hands on the deck, and they are staring at the warship with the dragon sword emblem on the sail that they can almost see with naked eyes, without noticing it at all. A huge shadow slowly fell on their ship.

“Attention, the opposite ship has stopped! Prepare for defense!”

Hobbs put down the monocular telescope in his hand and said.

“Why? At this distance, the opponent should not be able to attack us.”

Hobbes heard this and raised the monocular telescope again and looked towards the imperial warship.

This time, through the polished crystal lens, he saw that the sailors on the warship not far away were scrambling to adjust the sails, turning the direction of the ship awkwardly. The bow of the boat was crowded with people, and many people were pointing to their side as if they were shouting something.

“They look like… wanting to run away? Why?”

Hobbs asked, equally puzzled.

A blood-clotting growl answered his question perfectly.

“roar!”

Half of the people on the deck were so frightened by the roar that they fell to the ground.

After the “dark cloud” covering the Whale Bone left and chased the imperial warship not far away, someone stammered at it and shouted:

“Dragon…is a dragon!”

……

Fake, right?

How could there be a TM Dragon in the Broken Sea?

Captain beard had only one question in his mind after seeing the black membrane wings spread like dark clouds and the razor-sharp scales shining like obsidian in the sunlight.

Since Terra I’s loyal companion Utu returned to the Dragon Bone Islands, how many years has there been no recorded dragon sightings in history? Although the dragon sword emblem is well known as the symbol of Riel Empire, for the people of the Empire today, the dragon is basically equivalent to the legendary creature.

As a result, it suddenly appears out of thin air now?

“Captain, what should we do?”

The first mate on the side shook the captain’s shoulder vigorously, which made him wake up from the shock.

“Maximize…the defensive spell on the starlight tower!”

He pointed tremblingly at the two conical wooden towers next to the mast.

“I have already notified this, what about apart from this?”

apart from this? An adult Black Dragon appears here, what else can they do? is it possible that negotiate with it?

The destructive power of an adult Black Dragon is basically equivalent to that of a Legendary-level wizard. Because of its natural ability to fly and perfect maneuverability, coupled with the fact that its body is invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable, on the battlefield, an adult giant dragon can often play a role in directly rewriting the battle situation.

After taking a few deep breaths of the salty air, the captain forcibly suppressed his fear and shouted loudly around:

“Keep… keep calm! Put it all away for me, don’t provoke that dragon!”

hearing this, the sailors who had already set up bows and arrows, and those spells flashing The surgical outline war mages all hesitated to put down the weapons in their hands.

Seeing this, the captain lowered his volume and added:

“Don’t attack it, don’t test it. This dragon is probably just passing by, since it The smuggler just showed up and didn’t attack the ship when it was empty, so it also has no reason to attack us.”

“But captain, it flew towards us…”

A sailor standing beside him said tremblingly.

“Don’t panic, it may just be going in this direction…”

The captain stared at that Black Dragon and said nervously.

This sentence is not so much an answer to the sailor’s question, but rather that he is comforting himself.

Or to deceive yourself.

It wasn’t until that Black Dragon hovered over the warship that he finally came to his senses when a little fire star started to come out of his mouth and his breath was brewing.

“beat, beat, beat! Hurry up and beat this beast!”

At the same time as his voice fell, a fiery breath spit out from the mouth of the huge Black Dragon out.

…………

“Dragon! That’s really a dragon! It’s just like the legend says!”

“My grandma would never believe this …”

“If I can go back alive, I will have a story to tell my grandson in the future.”

“Holy Spirit bless, Holy Spirit bless, Holy Spirit bless… “

“I still don’t understand, where did it come from?”

amazed, flustered, prayed, excited, disturbed…

The sailors aboard the Whalebone displayed more colorful emotions than fear than the Imperial warships that Black Dragon had chosen as their target. They were either excited or terrified as they watched the huge Black Dragon hovering over the battleship, exclaiming heartily from time to time.

And the person who caused all this, William, made Liz stop releasing the fog of Demoness when their attention was completely distracted by Black Dragon.

Releasing the fog of Demoness is also a big consumption for her, and it is better to use it as little as possible if it is not an emergency.

In addition, it should be almost enough to use 【Shadow of Reality】to visualize an ordinary adult Black Dragon.

Watching in the distance that the Black Dragon spit out a black-cursed breath at the warship, William thought.

After all, top dragon species like the Golden Giant Dragon or the Immortal Stone Dragon were extremely rare even in those days a thousand years ago.

Only against a wooden warship, a Black Dragon breath equivalent to a Legendary-level flame spell is enough… eh?

William’s eyes twitched.

At the moment when the dark breath fell, a silver white barrier suddenly appeared on the two wooden towers with a faint starlight on the warship, blocking the breath and the hull. between.

But they collapsed on the first encounter like thin, crisp ice floating on the lake. Almost instantly, the two towers exploded one after another, and the sails on the mast were instantly ignited.

But the formidable power of this breath only stops there. Originally, William imagined that the entire warship was burned to only the keel structure of the scene, which did not happen.

It wasn’t that some other force blocked the endless breath of formidable power, but the Black Dragon stopped.

William tried to continue commanding the attack, but that Black Dragon was completely unresponsive.

I can’t do this…

The will of the Black Dragon is passed on to William.

The vision enhanced by [Eagle Eye Technique] quickly helped William find the reason why that Black Dragon stopped.

It was a woman.

A diminutive woman with maroon hair in a lace dress that doesn’t quite fit the sea.

At this moment, she is leaning against the door of the cabin leading to the deck, gasping for breath, covering her stomach with one hand and holding a bronze metal plaque in the other.

The metal plate was engraved with dragons and swords, as well as a rough, sharp-angled symbol.

I cannot attack my master.

The will of the Black Dragon crossed William’s mind again.
